Can labor happen randomly with breech babies?

Question

**I'm NOT trying to induce labor** Seeing as my son is breech I already have a C-section set for Aug 7th.. I'm just wondering if a breech baby can trigger labor the same way a head down baby can

Answer

Labor can happen whenever with any baby… Otherwise breech babies would just stay up in there forever…

Answer

Yes. I've also heard of babies being born naturally breech.

Answer

Yes, you can still go into labor naturally, even with a breech baby. And that would be my suggestion. Why don't they allow you to go into labor naturally and see if baby turns? They can also try to turn baby when it comes time for pushing. I personally wouldn't give up on vaginal delivery just yet.

Answer

It's possible. They usually schedule you about a week before your due date bc it can be more dangerous to have a c section after labor has progressed. Mine was a footling breech, so a natural birth was way too risky. I had my c section at 39 weeks.

Answer

Yes it happened to another patient of my doctor. While he was examining me, he got called into the hospital for that exact scenario.
